Tranny oil change using the return line

or drain the torque converter thru the inspection plate refilling is tricky though

oh and SYNTHETIC! more temp stable = doesnt over thin hot and doesnt turn thick when cold .. just guessing pumping thick oil is way more labor intensive than motor oil which costs MPGs

Depends on the vehicle. Many torque converters can only be completely drained by a complicated procedure that can only be done once, as it involves drilling a hole in the converter, and filling the hole with a rivet.

Well, guys. I had to have the Stratus put into the shop to fix a botched timing service job, and while they were in there I had them just do another pan drop/filter change. I had the mechanic use Valvoline ATF+4, 4 Quarts, and I also put in a bottle of Lubegard Red to bring it up to the correct level. I have heard good things about this product and I'm giving it a shot to see if it will help my with the symptoms I was experiencing. Also, since the Stratus isn't my DD anymore, I will be sure to change the fluid every 2-3 years instead of waiting on the mileage.

The bottom line...additives aren't necessarily good.
